It has been raining continuously in Calgary for past three days, overcast and low light was discouraging but this great gray owl made the day. This owl was hunting and provided great opportunity to study and capture great moments, this is one of them.
fog in November!

Yeah, a catbird. Got to be one of the most annoying birds out there, but, I couldn't pass up this perch and background.

Great Gray Owl, Ada County, Idaho
"The Great Gray Owl is a dapper owl dressed in a gray suit with a bow tie across its neck and a surprised look on its face. In the stillness of a cold mountain meadow the elusive giant quietly floats on broad wings across meadows and openings in evergreen forests. They are mostly owls of the boreal forest with small populations in western mountains, but in some years they move farther south in search of food, giving some a unique opportunity to see this majestic owl."
I found this during my morning walk at Kasavanahalli lake in Bangalore, India.
It was quite noticeable for the prominent red mark on the head but I found out that this is called Grey-headed ...
This great gray owl flew sudden in our direction so the wing tips got cropped. It was amazing to see if its wings were fully spanned.

Northern Harrier (male)
Circus Hudsonius
As the sun begins to set, he became very active and came very close.

I watched this cooperative fella go through a series of preening poses. I liked how he paused momentarily holding one of the feathers in his beak.

Wild Gray Fox fairly tame for a wild animal, hung around for three years and had three litters in as much time, disappeared a few years ago, kind of miss seeing her, found in North Carolina.
If you’re convinced you’ll never be able to learn bird calls, start with the Gray Catbird. Once you’ve heard its catty mew you won’t forget it. Follow the sound into thickets and vine tangles and you’ll be rewarded by a somber gray bird with a black cap and bright rusty feathers under the tail. Gray Catbirds are relatives of mockingbirds and thrashers, and they share that group’s vocal abilities, copying the sounds of other species and stringing them together to make their own song.
This Great Gray Owl was well hidden among the needles and cones of a Lodgepole Pine at the edge of forest as it scanned for rodents under snow in an adjacent open field. Despite the white stuff being about 30 cm (approx. one foot) deep, the owl was able to detect prey moving on the ground underneath thanks to excellent hearing enabled in part by the shape of the facial disk. And this was from up to some 100 metres (about 100 yards) away, and 10 metres (33 feet) up. The strikes on rodents such as voles were not always successful, but I did witness at least two made with pinpoint accuracy. These scenes unfolded northwest of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Gray evening, Finland.
The day was gray and it was already getting dark. I was just testing some filters and stuff and not expecting anything special.
Then suddenly there was a small opening between the clouds. Quickly I searched for a spot where I could include some rocks in the composition. Soon the Sun set and colors were gone completely.
I was happy to capture something different instead of the usual colorful sunsets. Sometimes less is more, right?
Gray Catbird is renowned as a vocal species, in the frequency and variety of its songs. (It is a mimid, including copies of the repertoires of other species in its offerings.) This individual was giving a grand show at Tolman Bridge (East) campground on the Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada. This image shows well the chestnut undertail coverts, not always readily visible. Brown Thrasher and Yellow-breasted Chat also mimic other birds; we saw the former at this location, but unfortunately not the latter which had been seen recently.
Les moqueurs sont des oiseaux qui nous font entendre toute une panoplie de chants et de cris. Le Moqueur chat, comme son nom l'indique, arrive à reproduire le miaulement du chat.
Mockingbirds are birds that make us hear a variety of songs and cries. The Gray Catbird, as the name implies, manages to reproduce the cat's meow.
From Wiki: The gray hawk is found from Costa Rica north into the southwestern United States. feeds mainly on lizards and snakes, but will also take small mammals, birds and frogs. It usually sits on an open high perch from which it swoops on its prey, but will also hunt from a low glide. The nest is of sticks and built high in a tree. The usual clutch is one to three, usually two white to pale blue eggs. The young take about 6 weeks to fledge.
